Majesty & Precious

Giving Tuesday 2025

Majesty and her foal, Precious, were the last saves on Giving Tuesday 2025. They were being held in Alturas at the Double Devils Corral that works with the US Forest Service. Charlene from the corrals, who reached out to us once before about Ford & Indy, reached out to us about two more:

A 19-year old mare with cataracts in both eyes. She has limited vision and relies on her foal (2025 Filly) to guide her. The filly does an outstanding job guiding her. I'd' love for them to remain together."

That's all we knew about them and we already loved them. I named this beautiful, regal mare Majesty for her grace under pressure. She’s raising her baby with dignity and pride and without eye sight. Her little foal could not be more precious and has taken on a great responsibility in a world that is so new to her. It must be scary and confusing, but she takes care of her mother.

We got as far as December this year without taking in any foals, but when I read that this little girl is guiding her mom, it seemed the perfect way to close this day of radical generosity. So many horses deserved sanctuary, but I never dreamed we would be able to say yes to every one of them. We broke all records and smashed past every goal. Now let’s get to the corrals, pick these two up, and bring them home to Skydog.

American Mustangs and Burros Need Your Help

In addition to supporting our work by donating, becoming a patron on Patreon, or sponsoring a Skydog, there are several important pieces of legislation to protect American equines currently moving through Congress. It only takes a few minutes to contact your Rep and two Senators to urge them to support these bills. You can Contact Members of Congress by calling the Capitol Switchboard (202) 224-3121‬, submitting contact forms on their individual websites, or sending one email to all three simultaneously at www.democracy.io

Save America’s Forgotten Equines (SAFE) Act of 2025 (H.R.1661 in the House and S.775 in the Senate). This bill would amend the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, commonly known as the “Farm Bill”. There are several important provisions for animals in that omnibus federal law, including the Cat and Dog Meat Trade Prohibition Act. It is currently illegal to slaughter, transport, possess, purchase, sell, or donate dogs and cats, or their parts, for human consumption. The SAFE Act would extend the ban to equines and shut down the slaughter pipeline that sends some 20,000 American horses and donkeys to savagely monstrous deaths in foreign slaughterhouses every year.

The Wild Horse & Burro Protection Act of 2023 (H. R. 4356) The bill would eliminate the use of helicopters in rounding up wild horses and burros, and require a study into alternative methods for humanely gathering the animals.

Ejiao Act of 2025 (H.R. 5544). To ​​ban the sale or transportation of ejiao, a gelatin made from boiling donkey skins, or products containing ejiao in interstate or foreign commerce, which brutally kills millions of donkeys primarily for beauty products and Chinese medicine.
